Once the Infertility Diagnosis has been established, treatment falls into three main types:

• Medical treatment to restore fertility (for example the use of drugs for ovulation induction)

• Surgical treatment to restore fertility (for example laparoscopy for ablation of endometriosis)

• Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) – any treatment that deals with means of conception other than vaginal coitus; frequently involving the handling of gametes ( egg, ova, sperm) or embryos.
